So how are you giving them GUI?  The last thing I want to do is move away
from the 3000 but I want to make the data more useful/give the end user more
power.  Example, it is a lot easier to manipulate data (especially for
non-IT folks) in Excel than in an ASCII file or non-GUI data base.  How have
you tried to bridge these worlds?
